        "summary": "Gerindra Party Deputy Chairman Habiburokhman has criticised political analyst Saiful Mujani's call for public consolidation to topple President Prabowo Subianto, suggesting it stems from partisan motives rather than genuine concern for governance. Mujani, who has long opposed Prabowo, argues the president's leadership lacks inclusivity and competence, proposing options like impeachment or waiting for the 2029 elections, but Habiburokhman warns against unconstitutional power grabs that could harm the public. The exchange highlights tensions within Indonesia's political landscape as Prabowo's administration faces scrutiny just 1.5 years into its term.",
        "content": "<p>Deputy Chairman of the Gerindra Party, Habiburokhman, believes that\nSaiful Mujani\u2019s remarks about public consolidation to bring down\nPresident Prabowo Subianto warrant criticism. According to him, there\nare political motives behind the critique voiced by the Professor of\nPolitical Science at Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University. \u201cWe\nknow that Saiful Mujani is a wealthy political elite who has long been\nat odds with President Prabowo, including during the recent presidential\nelection. Is Saiful Mujani\u2019s criticism purely disseminated for\nimprovement, or is it merely a partisan political operation?\u201d\nHabiburokhman stated in a written release on Monday, 13 April 2026. At\nan event titled \u201cHalalbihalal of Analysts Before Being Regulated\u201d at\nBeranda Utan Kayu in East Jakarta on Tuesday, 31 March 2026, Mujani\nparticipated as a speaker alongside other concerned analysts and\nacademics regarding the direction of Prabowo\u2019s government. The founder\nof Saiful Mujani Research and Consulting questioned the possibility of\npublic consolidation to pressure political change, including pushing\nPrabowo to step down from his position. \u201cCan we consolidate ourselves to\nbring down Prabowo?\u201d Mujani said at the time. Habiburokhman suspects\nthat Mujani may have intentions to oust Prabowo for personal gain. \u201cIf\nSaiful Mujani is eager to seize power, that is his right. However, the\npolitical cost to be paid by the people would be too great if any party\nseeks to seize power unconstitutionally,\u201d he stated. According to\nHabiburokhman, the public has the opportunity to evaluate Prabowo\u2019s\nperformance at the end of his term in 2029. Thus, until that time\narrives, the Head of State has at least five years to fulfil his\npolitical promises. Furthermore, Habiburokhman is convinced that Prabowo\nis committed to upholding democracy in his first term of leadership. \u201cIn\nnearly 1.5 years of President Prabowo\u2019s rule, not a single Indonesian\ncitizen has been punished for criticising or even insulting President\nPrabowo,\u201d he said. As for Saiful, he stated that he has reasons for\nurging the public to remove Prabowo from the government seat. Moreover,\nSaiful views the leadership of the former Commander of the Special\nForces Command (Kopassus) as generally incompetent and lacking\nauthority. \u201cPrabowo is not presidential. A presidential president, in my\nview, is one who is inclusive, accepts diverse aspirations, and acts\nbeyond partisan politics,\u201d he said in a written release on Tuesday, 7\nApril 2026. He mentioned that presidential impeachment can be initiated\nby the House of Representatives (DPR). However, he doubts this step can\nsucceed given that the Gerindra Party Chairman currently controls the\nlegislative body. Even with the option of waiting until the 2029\nelections, which are still 3.5 years away. According to Saiful, various\npolicies implemented by Prabowo have the potential to make Indonesia\nworse, so change at the top of the government must be carried out\nimmediately.<\/p>",
